Monthly Archives: December 2016

It is becoming increasingly clear that I’ll never catch up with all the Daily Post prompts I’ve missed this fall – despite keeping a running list and my best intentions. Instead, I’ll insinuate the first four of December into a single reflection. See if you agree that I’ve hit upon echo, relax, panoply and sacred – without ever naming any one of these things outright!!

Finishing Line Press announces pre-publication sales of Slow Blooming Gratitudes by Sarah W. Bartlett, a finalist in the New Women’s Voices Series.

“…This chapbook is that rare combination of heart-mind-soul-intellect—masterfully crafted verse that reaches outward from the page, extending the hand of welcome to each reader.” – Cynthia Brackett-Vincent, publisher and editor, the Aurorean poetry journal

“Sarah Bartlett’s Slow Blooming Gratitudes is near religion in its capacity to offer solace and acceptance in times of adversity…And she does so in language that seeps into the reader like a slow, soft massage… Buy it, read it and keep it close by. – Ellaraine Lockie, award-winning poet, nonfiction author, contest judge, educator

From now through January 20, the book is available for pre-order at Finishing Line Press. Publication depends entirely upon these pre-order sales. The title will not be available on Amazon until after its March 10 release.
